tabs at the bottom of the editor window labeled <b>Source</b> and <b>Design</b> as shown
below. If you click on the <b>Design</b> tab or hit <b>F12</b>, the file will be displayed in the <b><a href="../userinterface/design_view.html">Design View</a> </b> and you will be able to visually design your GUI.</p>

If a file was last opened in the <b>WindowBuilder </b>Editor , it will continue to open in
that editor until a different editor is selected to edit the file. If you do not

the <b>WindowBuilder </b>Editor.</p>
